Chapter 1303: Trouble finds me in the Brendan City
From MC's Perspective:
After going around a few more streets in the outer circle area, I finally found a big eatery shop. It was located close to the inner circle entrance.
Many people come here to look at the inner circle. From time to time, people from the inner circle would come to look at the outer circle.
Because most of them have shops here, I followed the people who entered the big eatery. The seats were full, and there was no need to look at other floors.
They were crowded with people as well. After taking a look at them, I found a stand nearby. I could still stand and eat. I walked up to the stand and ordered food.
The food was a monster steak. Seeing that, my eyes flickered. To be honest, I had yet to come across any monsters in this country. I wondered where they got these monsters.
"Perhaps, breeding?" I thought.
The staff brought the food a few minutes later. I placed the food plate on the table and started tasting the food. At the same time, I kept my eyes on the surroundings.
There were other wanderers here as well. Each had a different costume and hairstyle. But they were extremely strong wizards.
After coming to the city, I sensed so many level-8 and level-9 wizards. But I had yet to come across the Supreme Wizards.
While eating, I started listening to people's conversations as well.
"Hey, I heard people from the Brendan Clan have come!"
"Brendan Clan?"
"Yes, I think they are here for tax collection."
"Tax? Brendan City is one of the richest cities in the country. The Brendan Clan is blessed to have such a city in a strategic location."
"Hmmm, be careful. The people from the Brendan Clan cut down people like weeds. Don't offend them."
The wizards in the restaurant started discussing in low tones.
On the other hand, my eyes turned solemn. I didn't expect such an important figure to come here.
"Hi, can I stand here?" a middle-aged voice sounded.
Hearing that, I turned towards the person. Then I realized that the middle-aged man was looking for a space in the table.
So I nodded to him before leaving a small space on the table.
The middle-aged man placed his food plate on the table before starting to eat.
As the seconds passed, I found that the middle-aged man was looking at me from time to time.
"Strange?"
"The wanderer is hiding something. I couldn't see through his strength," the middle-aged man thought to himself.
The next second, his eyes flashed with greed.
He was a level-9 wizard. He didn't think the wanderer was stronger than him. But he couldn't see through his strength.
This indicated that the wanderer had something valuable. When he thought about the wanderer possibly being the Supreme Wizard, he dismissed the idea.
He knew that Supreme Wizards were rare. How could they appear in this city? Let alone eating in one of the Outer Circle eateries. It was a shabby place.
So he was certain that the wanderer was carrying something valuable.
A flash of murderous intent crossed his eyes. He had come to Brendan City to find his prey. But he didn't expect to catch a big fish so soon.
[Ding! Warning]
[The level-9 Wizard harbors murderous intent towards the host.]
The mechanical voice sounded in my mind.
Hearing that, I felt goosebumps all over my body. I never expected the middle-aged man to be a level-9 wizard. I controlled my racing heart.
Then I made a quick decision.
I picked up the plate and went to the counter to place it. Then I paid the bill before leaving. While walking in the street, I sensed someone's gaze from behind.
I knew it must be the middle-aged man. My eyes wandered around the shops on both sides of the streets. Then I found a small clothing shop.
Seeing that, my eyes lit up. I walked up to the shop and entered inside. The shopkeeper greeted me with a smile. I nodded to him before picking a random hoodie and entering the dressing room.
The shopkeeper smiled upon receiving the customer before returning to his seat.
Swoosh!
On the other hand, I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion. I put down the hoodie and calmed my racing heart.
With a thought, I summoned the status panel.

Looking at the Gravity Rule Power and stats, I didn't know if the power of the magic spell was enough to hurt the level-9 wizard.
Meanwhile,
In the Core Area's administration building, an important meeting was taking place. The officials from the Brendan Clan had come here to collect the tax.
But before that, they were going through the tax reports. It didn't take long for them to find abnormalities. They were not satisfied with the tax income.
In the discussion, they came to know they were not charging much from the foreign visitors who wanted to buy something from their Outer Circle Area.
